The class teacher had just been to see me earlier about the chances of procuring further titles in their favourite series. Of course I took to the internet and two weeks later, they were delighted to find those titles on the shelf awaiting them.

Let’s Role Play
Role play. You might be thinking that this is simply entertainment for your child, a little bit of make believe.
